.....also, if you have been throwing up a lot, you might be swollen. you should maybe do 24 hours of liquids only to see if the swelling will go down and allow you to eat again.

So a quick update to all who followed.

I am having issues with throwing up, food getting stuck and I think its because I eat too fast. Also I am gaining weight again... I'm back up to 235... what steps should I take? I am starting to get worried!

Hi Jonathan,

I have not had a fill as of yet. I am having a problem as well with food getting stuck. Think it is because I have started to eat fast again. No bread no Pasta ect . going back to see the Dr on Oct 11 I will ask them what to do.

Take care of you.

Hi Johnathan & Mary too: Funny how now 2 1/2 months out and I am getting stuck also. Had a bad episode on Sunday with the whole family eating over. It lasted for about 25 minutes before it passed. Did not vomit but I did "slime" (sorry its gross). Could not get liquids down to help it along. I did take papaya pills -- don't really know it that helped either. Went to Dr. yesterday for my monthly visit and they said to eat slower and chew better......which of course I know. Don't know why this is happening more now. Will be much more careful when eating. Going on a trip with friends to Vegas saturday........hope all goes well over there. Dr. G. said the band will get tighter when I fly. I don't have a fill yet and not anxious to get one at this point. Thank you Johnathan for the congrats on my reaching ONDERLAND. That was a big milestone for me. Mary, hope all is well with you......sorry you are getting stuck too. At least we know it is a common occurance with the lapband.....but its not a good feeling. Good Luck to both of you. CAT

Hi Cat,

I am so happy that you reached onderland. I know you worked hard to get there. Let me tell you I am in no hurry to get a fill any time soon. I hope you have a great trip. Please make sure that you keep in your wallet a note that will say that you have the lap band just incase. I was told this by another friend who had the band done.

Take care of you safe trip,

Mary

thanks Mary.....I will take a card with the lapband info. Also PA at drs office suggested looking up a doctor in the area and hospital that does lapbands just in case. I thought it was a good idea. I must be very careful when eating or I will regret it by getting stuck. CAT
